Make Fruit Sauce
In a small pan combine the cornstarch and ginger. Stir in the pineapple juice. Cook, stirring until the sauce thickens and clears. Remove from heat and stir in the lime (or lemon) juice. Cool and then chill.

Prepare Papaya and Ice Cream
Peel and remove seeds from ripe papaya. Cut 4 thin slices, put in a small dish, cover and refrigerate. Cut up the rest of the papaya and whirl in a blender until smooth (or if you don’t have a blender, mash with a fork until finely crushed). Stir with whirled papaya into the softened vanilla ice cream. Turn into a freezing tray and freeze solid.

Combine sugar and water in a small pan and bring to a boil until it spins a thread (232° F on a candy thermometer).

Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Slowly pour the hot syrup prepared above into the egg whites, beating as you pour and continuing beating until cool. Set this mixture into a refrigerator while you prepare the fruits.

Peel banana and put into the blender, add pineapple, orange peel and lemon juice. Whirl in blender until blended (or you may mash banana with a fork and them mix in the pineapple, orange peel and lemon juice using a rotary hand mixer). Fold this fruit mixture into the beaten egg whites, then fold in the whipped cream and maraschino cherries. Spoon into a deep refrigerator freezing tray or a 9″ square dish; cover and put into freezer until firm. Makes about 1 quart.

The Raspberry Layer
Meanwhile, mix raspberries and pineapple in a blender along with lemon concentrate (or puree in a food mill). Strain to remove seeds and freeze until partially frozen. Then place in a chilled bowl and beat lightly. Spoon over the orange layer and refreeze.

The Flavor Layer
Mix almond and rum flavoring along with cherries and nuts with the other quart of vanilla ice cream. Pour this over the raspberry layer and freeze overnight.

Dissolve gelatin and salt in boiling water. Drain pineapple, measuring syrup; add water to make 1/2 cup liquid, if necessary. Stir pineapple and juice into gelatin along with lemon juice. Blend in mayonnaise.
